Hi guys, Did not realise this thread was still acitve. We found that we entered a very "busy" market in terms of virtual airlines supplying the UK and Europe and the staff on board at the time were not coming up with the goods in terms of route create etc. Taking the learnings from our original VA we branched over into Alaska and created a VA that is centered more around the Alaskan bush with primary focus on GA aircraft routes (with a couple of heavies thrown in). In addition we had a complete staff overhaul. Our launch of Alaskair Virtual was very well received and we're already up to over 20 pilots. You're more than welcome to pay us a visit at www.alaskairvirtual.com Thanks

Dont worry, appears to have fixed itself lol - parhaps some sort of delay??

Hi, First, absolutely brilliant module, exactly what we needed. Everything is working fine except, the booked/bidded flight isnt being passed through to our SmartCARS system like our normal flights do? They show on the booked flights etc on the website, just not in SmartCARS, so we're unable to actually fly them. Any ideas on what is causing this? AKV0001 - Gavin Browett www.alaskairvirtual.com

Hi all, We are experiencing issues with the registration page. We are using the "Lance" skin, which reading through the support forum a lot of people have multiple issues with, including the registration issue. We've fixed most of the issues so far, but cannot seem to fix this one. Basically, when a user tries to register, they complete the forum, pass the captcha and upon clicking the "Register" button, the page just essentially reloads itself. Our site is located at www.alaskairvirtual.com Is anyone able to assist with this one at all? I have seen a number of threads on this forum about this issue but no one seems to have explained how they fixed it. Thanks

Oh wow, didnt realise, how did that resurface lol

I have to agree with some of these posts, while our VA is also a 2 "monther", I ensured our website, SmartCARS, Forums etc were all running, tested and working before I posted our URL anywhere. To come on here without it just isnt a good start to your VA. That said however, from one fresh VA to another, I wish you the best of luck!

I notice aswell lionwing, that you have current flights etc on your front page, would you mind sharing how you did that? I would love more information on our front page about current operations, but alas, I am doing the web mastering myself lol!

Thank you lionwing, appreciate the support! I was just reading your post about your VA running for 15 years, but for some reason cannot reply on that thread. What a great achievement that is, I can only hope ours reaches the same longevity! The hardest bit seems to be knowing where to find the pilots lol! Gavin

We are pleased to announce that after heavy testing of our new fleet of aircraft, pilots and integral systems, UK Horizon Airways successfully launched on March 1st 2015, as anticipated. Our primary hub being EGNX - East Midlands Airport, has proved valuable in its central UK location and currently allows us to serve, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, London, Austria and even Ibiza. Furture planning includes opening our second hub at one of the major London airports and likely Edinburgh for very short haul flights to Scottish islands and the Faroe Islands. We still have many staff positions open, if you're interested and have the relevant experience then please email gavinbrowett@ukhorizonairways.com (all details are contained within our forum NOTAMs page). Happy Flying! Gavin Browett CEO - UK Horizon Airways (VA)

Hi there I made the required changes to all 3 files, however, my live map still shows a red line A-B, any ideas? I am running a flight now if you need to see it in action http://ukhorizonairways.com/index.php/acars

Hmmm is for me now too. That's a bit random. Didn't change anything.

Hi all Hoping you can help... For some reason our ACARS Live Map has all of a sudden stopped showing anything (just a white space where the map was)... No settings changed etc. Any idea why this would be and how we can fix it? URL is: http://ukhorizonairways.com/index.php/acars Thanks in advance, Gav

Website isnt down - I just made a typo in my update. As for recruitment, if there is any issue doing it here, then fair do's.

We're growing. A number of aircraft and routes now available, more still to come! Join us now (its free) - http://ukhorizonairways.com and help us build from the ground up

You got it, lol. My default fuel price was set to 5.2 for some random reason All good now though, thank you for the help guys!

Hi guys Where do I put meta tags within phpvms, for example, Google Search meta tags? Thanks Gavin

Hi all, So, I was wondering how everyone prices their passenger flights (ticket price) and fuel. I did a flight from East Midlands Airport to Ibiza and the fuel cost way out priced a full aircraft of passengers paying £320 per ticket, this seems a bit rediculous. So there must be a better calculation for it? I am using "0" for auto fuel prices. How do you guys do it to make it "virtually profitable"

Thanks Vangelis. Would anyone at JetVA.co.uk be able to advise how they sorted their charts? I know from using them that you have UK charts on the pilot brief?

Anyone able to help with this? I cant figure out why its not working, I assume that it is just wrong links?

Ok, pretty proud of myself, I figured it out. in the /core/templates/schedule_results.tpl you have to // out the below lines and it shows them again: /* This will skip over a schedule if it's been bid on This only runs if the below setting is enabled If you don't want it to skip, then comment out this code below by adding // in front of each line until the END DISABLE SCHEDULE comment below If you do that, and want to show some text when it's been bid on, see the comment below */ if(Config::Get('DISABLE_SCHED_ON_BID') == true && $route->bidid != 0) { continue; } /* END DISABLE SCHEDULE ON BID */

I believe we did individually accept the PIREPs. Could this be some switch in the coding that needs doing as they still have not re-appeared, so its not a date/time thing.

This is my entire schedule_briefing.tpl right now (and yes the charts is the main thing for me) <h3>Flight Briefing</h3> <script src="[url="http://skyvector.com/linkchart.js%22></script>"]http://skyvector.com...t.js"></script>[/url] <table width="98%" align="center" cellpadding="4"> <!-- Flight ID --> <tr style="background-color: #333;
